WRINGER CONSTRUCTION.

Application led April 20, 1925. Serial No. 24,340.

This invention relates to attachment means for wringers.

The invention has special reference to detachable relationing jof a wringer to a driving head mechanism. i

The invention consists of a provision of means in connection with a wringer frame. and' a driving head member for relative interlock, whereby the wringer may be attached by simple relative intersert relationship between the wringer frame and driving head parts, thereby enabling the wringer to be removed for convenience in shipping.

The invention includes detailed parts and relative fashioning of parts and to general combinations thereof hereinafter more lparticularly described.

Referring to the drawings- Fig. 1 is a top View of a driving head of a washing-'machine portion of a wringer,

the latter being shown in section;

Fig. 2 isa side elevation of the same subject matter disclosed in Figure 1; and

Fig. 3 is a side elevation of a driving head. In the drawings, 10 is an arm support designed for attachment to a washing machine not shown). 11 is a shaft supported therein and adapted to be driven from washing machine driving elements. 12 indicates a recess in the upper end of shaft 11. 13 indicates a casing constituting a part ofthe driving head, and 14 is a stub shaft fashioned for interengagement with recessed portion 12 in drive shaft 11. Driving geardevices are shown 'in connection with the head, and similarly, a gear shift means; however, as such gearing constitutes no part of the present invention, no detail description wil be given of the same.

Head 13 is provided with a laterally dis-V posed stub shaft housing member 15 provided with a ianged face plate portion 16 at its outer extremity, saidy face plate as herein shown being fashioned on rectangular lines; however, in practice, the same may, if desired, be tapered downwardly in substantially truncated wedgeshape. 17 is a stub shaft supported in housing portion 15 of the head, said shaft being adapted to be driven at option from the gearing within the head. To the outer end of the stub shaft 17 is attached a clutch member 18, the same having an open way therein adapted to receive and seat a shaft or clutch member of a wringer shaft. 19 refers generally to a wringer frame, a side frame portion thereof .rolls mounted therein, of means being fashioned to form the grooved seat 20, the said seat being fashioned in general rectangular form and being adapted to receive the flanges of the similarly fashioned plate 16 attached to the driving head portion 15. 21 1s.a.wringer shaft, the same being fashioned at its vouter end for interlock engagement with clutch member 18 on stub shaft 17 of the head member, and 22 is a stop member fixed to said shaft. The arrangement lof parts as above indicated, enables the wringer to be detachably seated in connection with the driving head member and in such seating, the parts are 'so related that the end of nAshaft member 21 interlocks with clutch member 18 in such manner that as stub shaft 17 is rotated, a rotary action will be imparted to wringer shaft 21.

No descriptive reference is made to the general wringer construction, as the same constitutes no part of my present invention.

What I claim is: v i

1. In combination, with a gear casing head and a wringer roll vframe having wringer 89 rolls mounted therein, of means for mounting said frame on said casing head, comprlsing laterally extending key members and sockets respectively on the adjacent side faces of the head and frame interlocked axially of the wringer rolls by\a sliding movement transversely of the axes of the rolls.

2. `In combination, with a gear casing head and a wringer roll frame having wringer rolls mounted therein, of means for. mounting said frame on the casing head, comprising flanges and channels on adjacent side faces of said frame and head interlocked to prevent movement of the frame axially of the rolls by,- a relative sliding movement transversely of the axes of the rolls.

3. In combination, with a gear casing head and a wringer roll frame having wringer rolls mounted therein, of means for mounting said frame 4on said head, comprising vertically extending laterally projecting anges on one of said members and vertically extending channels on the otherof said members for receiving said 4flanges to lock the frame against movement relatively to the head axially of the rolls by arelative sliding`1 movement transversely to the axes of the ro s.

4. In combination with a ear casing head and a wringer' roll frame aviner wringer fdr mounting said frame on the casing head, comprising out turned vertically extending ianges and int-urned vertically extending flanges arranged to engage behind said out turned flanges, respectively on the adjacent side faces of the easing head and frame and interlocked by relative slidingl movement transversely of the axes of the rolls.

5. In combination, a gear casing head having a driving shaft therein and a, Wringer roll frame having Wringer rolls mounted therein one ofwhich is provided With a driving shaft axially parallel With the driving shaftin the easing head and an interlocking connection between said shafts moved into interlocking position by a movel5 ment transversely of the axes of the rolls and means for mounting said frame on said head comprising laterally extending key members and sockets respectively on adjacent side faces of the casing head and frame in- 20 terlocked axially of the Wringer rolls by a sliding movementl transversely of the axes of the rolls.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name.
